Hamas has brilliantly manipulated the world's perceptions by framing their actions as responses to oppression or injustice, exploiting media to showcase their grievances.

They use propaganda to twist narratives, highlight civilian casualties caused by countermeasures, and portray themselves as defenders of a marginalized group or cause. Social media, sympathetic coverage, and strategic messaging can amplify their victimhood narrative, swaying public opinion.

Lots of people have fallen for it .They have forgotten about the disgusting massacre of innocent people and the taking of hostages.

Remember, who started this war it was Hamas when they invaded Israel. They knew very well that Israel was going to respond strongly but nobody expected them to retaliate as they did.

If you are an Empath you are more susceptible to manipulation due to your heightened sensitivity to others' emotions.

You might empathize deeply with manipulating terrorist group like Hamas making it harder for you to recognize deceitful tactics.

Oh, that’s fine then, never mind..?

It never fails to amaze me how fast goalposts can move - if you go back 12 months and imagine a British military ally bombing and killing 3 British aid workers in branded aid trucks in a de-conflicted area… there would be outrage both within the public and politicians.

Now we get a few stern words from the politicians and members of the public who go on as if this is a par for the course accident.

And they accuse others of being victims of propaganda.

I don’t think you can ever get these things right. Travel to a war zone and there are risks, whether you are an aid worker, journalist, observer or whatever. Try and do some good in a famine and people like David Lammy will accuse you of ‘White Saviour’ syndrome.
What I am surprised at is that there are so many different charities trying to do the same work; every day a different name comes into the frame. I wonder if the aid was restricted to regional charities whether there would be less room for mistakes.

No, governments around the world do not necessarily act in the same way as Hamas. Hamas is a Palestinian political and military organization that has been involved in conflict and resistance against Israel. Its actions and objectives are specific to its unique circumstances and goals. Governments, on the other hand, vary greatly in their ideologies, policies, and methods of governance. Each government has its own set of laws, regulations, and systems to govern its citizens and handle internal and external affairs. It is important to avoid making broad generalizations about governmental actions based on the actions of a specific organization like Hamas.

It's a fact of life that our military ally will breach international law, killing British civilians?

Can you point to to other such examples?

I don't understand what point you're making - you introduced what I understood as the idea that the murder of aid workers by advanced militaries is a 'fact of life'. I strongly disagree with that assertion.

On the bit in bold; given the plethora of examples of Israel doing exactly that in the last 6 months, why is it not accurate to say it is characteristic of them? They have clearly demonstrated a disregard for both international law and protection of civilians, many times over - why do we have to pretend they haven't?
